"What did the queen draw and show it to the mourning family?" Empress Dowager Shi knew Queen Zhou's preferences, and when she saw that it was a picture of wild ducks playing, she felt very lively and interesting, and she was free.

"Queen, did the mourning family do anything wrong back then?" Empress Dowager Shi smiled self-deprecatingly.

It was the first time for Empress Dowager Zhou to see Empress Dowager Shi's appearance, and she hurriedly dismissed everyone in the palace, leaving only her henchman Aunt Xinping and Empress Dowager Shi's henchmen.

Aunt Xinping knew her master's heart very well, and went to the palace in person to give an order, and came back to give Queen Zhou a look.

"The Queen Mother."

"You were personally selected by the mourning family as the queen, the old people in the emperor's former mansion are basically gone, you and the virtuous concubine were selected with the emperor after the mourning family, and the emperor is more than ten years older than you." Empress Dowager Shi recalled the original incident.

"The emperor's heirs are relatively late, but now there are so many children." Empress Dowager Shi looked at Empress Zhou and said, "Isn't the Empress going to ask for one?" ”

Empress Zhou was stunned when she heard this, looked at Empress Dowager Shi in disbelief, and saw that Empress Dowager Shi was serious, and showed a wry smile, "The Empress Dowager also knows that it is not easy for her sons to get pregnant. ”

"Of course the mourning family knows, it was the imperial doctor that the mourning family invited for you at the beginning." Empress Dowager Shi said, "It's just not easy, can't it, can't it, if the queen is determined to want it, she can also find a way, can't she get pregnant, it depends on God's love, but does the queen really not even try?" ”

"Empress, is this not a trace of friendship for the emperor?" Empress Dowager Shi said with a sad expression.

Queen Zhou's body stiffened, "Queen Mother, isn't the lord of the harem good enough?" ”

"Okay." Empress Dowager Shi affirmed, "But you are not good enough for yourself." ”

"Queen Mother, isn't the son's life comfortable enough now, it's not good for him." Queen Zhou smiled, "After taking care of the affairs of the harem, you can do what you like without scruples, so carefree, didn't the queen mother also see it." ”

Empress Zhou refers to painting, Empress Dowager Shi understands, but ......

"Xiyue, isn't it lonely alone?" Empress Dowager Shi looked at Queen Zhou and called Queen Zhou's maiden name.

Queen Zhou sighed, and suddenly sat down on the chair as if she was relaxed, her freewheeling posture and expression, without the proper appearance of the lord of the harem, "Queen Mother, you also know the temperament of your sons, you see, this is the most real me, I am like this, I don't like to have things to restrict, what is wrong with a person, people come alone, and go by themselves." ”

"The queen mother also knew about it at the beginning, but she still appointed me as the queen, the daughter of the Yongning Bofu family, to be honest, I really don't have any capital to be a queen, what does the queen mother like about me?" Empress Zhou asked with a helpless smile.

"The mourning family just took a fancy to your true temperament." Empress Dowager Shi looked at Queen Zhou's personality that had not changed for nearly 20 years, and her eyes showed a trace of envy and pity.

"The mourning family can see that you have a friendship with the emperor at the beginning, but this friendship comes and goes quickly, your temperament is like this, in fact, to be honest, the more friendship you have in the harem, the more unhappy this person is, and the cold person is more suitable for life in the palace." Empress Dowager Shi laughed to herself.

"The mourning family has been in the palace for so many years, and they have seen too many people, what kind of heart, not to mention that you can see through it at a glance, but it is not far off, when I first saw you, the mourning family felt that you were suitable for life in the palace." Empress Dowager Shi looked at Empress Zhou and said seriously, "But the mourning family found out, maybe the mourning family is wrong." ”

Empress Zhou raised her eyebrows, and when she saw that Empress Dowager Shi was really apologetic, she smiled and said with relief, "Queen Mother, in fact, they are all the same, when you meet the right person, no matter where you are born, you can be happy; can meet the wrong person, it is the same everywhere, not to mention the palace, it is the same outside, but in this palace, the queen mother at least gave her sons supreme glory. ”

"I don't know how many people want to be this queen, the queen mother gave her son, which is the importance of her son, and the queen mother doesn't need to apologize."

"So you're going to live like this for the rest of your life?" Empress Dowager Shi asked.

"Isn't it good to live like this for the rest of your life?" Empress Zhou asked rhetorically.

"The emperor will always be old, and the queen still has to have her own children." Empress Dowager Shi said earnestly.

Empress Zhou glanced at the Empress Dowager Shi unexpectedly, "The queen mother has some suspicion with the emperor." ”

Otherwise, after so many years, I am thirty-five, and it seems too late to remind myself to have a child.

"The mourning family is for your good." Empress Dowager Shi smiled helplessly, "In the harem, there is no heir protection, and there is no support when you are old." ”

"How did the queen mother know that her sons could live longer than the emperor." Empress Zhou said.

"Of course the mourning family doesn't know, but when people live, they still have roots, and they can be considered complete." Empress Dowager Shi said, "The mourning family will look for famous doctors, and the queen will ......"

"The Queen Mother." Empress Zhou interrupted Empress Dowager Shi's words, "The son is not young, even if he can conceive next year and give birth the year after next, it is difficult to raise him, and the queen mother should know this." ”

"Now that the eldest prince is twenty years old, even if the son is born and occupies the word 'Yan', the son does not have the confidence to raise the child and develop an excellent prince who can inherit the throne."

"Queen Mother, Erchen doesn't want to worry more, if you really have a child, Erchen may never be able to return to her current temperament in the future, and she will become the same as Concubine Xian, Concubine De, Concubine Shu, and Concubine Lu, does the Queen Mother want to see such a son?"

"Such a retainer is in charge of the harem, does the queen mother think that the retainer can still be fair and just?"

"The most important thing is that Erchen doesn't want his child to sit in that seat." Empress Zhou looked at Empress Dowager Shi with a serious expression.

"After sitting in that seat, there is no so-called brother, friend and brother, even marrying wives and concubines is to balance power, it's too tiring."

Empress Dowager Shi didn't say anything for a long time, kept looking at Queen Zhou, and only listened to her.

"What's more, Erchen is still the queen now, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne in the future, as long as Erchen is still alive, the queen mother's seat Erchen is the first choice." Empress Zhou said with a smile.

"The queen really thinks that when the time comes, will those princes' mothers still tolerate you sitting in the position of the queen mother?" Empress Dowager Shi said, "The emperor is someone else's child, and he will definitely want his own mother to sit on it." ”

"That's okay." Empress Zhou smiled indifferently, "If that's the case, the sons will go to accompany the queen mother and the emperor." ”

"If you don't give birth, let the prince be named under you, that's also a concubine, you don't want to ......"

"The Queen Mother." Empress Zhou stopped Empress Dowager Shi's words, "If Erchen does this, it will be pushing the eldest prince to die." ”

Except for the eldest prince who has no mother, he may record people in his own name, and the rest of the princes are impossible.
